Disagree. It's reasonable to assume that Jessica is 'she' and that James is a 'he'. It's reasonable to assume the board is 'they'. We don't need to contort language to accommodate situations that hardly happen in a lifetime. Sam, Jamie - sure. But Jessica, James, we know. Someone who refers to themselves as 'Jessica' but also identifies as male is making a choice to contradict social conventions, which is perfectly fine and entirely their (pun intended?) right, but it's not our responsibility to have to keep up. If in context we know gender, then cool, if not, Jessica will be confused for a female. |
